- Wolfsburg’s sporting director Klaus Allofs has confirmed that there is a €75m release clause to Julian Draxler’s contract but it only comes into play next summer. Arsenal are linked with a move for Draxler but may have to wait until 2017/18 season if they want to land their man. Draxler has gone public in recent weeks with a view to force a move away from the club.

- Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has put a hold to the constant Jonas Hector’s rumoured move to Anfield. Following a 4-0 defeat vs Bundesliga side Mainz, Klopp said: “Neither Hector nor Odegaard called me and told me they want to be Liverpool players.” Hector is valued in the £20-25m region and could yet complete a summer switch to Liverpool.
